HOOK AND EYE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 12, 1905.

Application filed February 2.1905. Serial No. 243,888.

To (LI/Z whom, it "may courier-1t:

Be it known that I, LOIS F. GOSNELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bluehill, in the county of Webster and State of Nebraska,have in vented new and useful Improve ments in Hooks and Eyes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a hook and eye, and has for its object to provide a fastener of this kind which can be sewed to a garment without marring or defacing the appearance thereof, no extra facing or other covering being required to conceal the parts through which the attaching-th reads pass.

The invention consists in certain novel features in construction hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a perspective view of the hook,

and Fig. 2 is a similar view of the eye. Fig. 3 is a side or edge view of the hook. Fig. 4

is a plan view of the eye.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the bill of the hook comprises spaced parallel side bars 9, which are joined at one end by a cross-bar 10. Between its ends the bar 10 is bent inwardly slightly, as at 11. that portion of the hook which is next to the fabric when secured thereto is formed by bending the side bars downwardly, as at 12, and extending the same rearwardly, as at 13. The base-bars 13 are substantially of the same length'as the bars 9 and lie thereunder substantially parallel thereto. At their outer ends the bars 13 are recurved, as at 14L, and

extended inwardly along the inner sidesthereof, a number of bends being made to form a series of attaching-loops 15. This The base or The eye 16 is in the shape of an elongated loop, the ends of which are soldered or otherwise secured together. In one of the long sides of the loop slight outward bends 17 are made to receive the attaching-thread and prevent endwise slip of the eye. An eye constructed in this manner can be readily sewed to the finished edge of a garment without leaving any unsightly parts exposed.

The parts herein described can be readily constructed by a single piece of wire, and they effectively serve the purpose for which they are intended.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A garment'hook having a bill comprising spaced side bars joined at one end by a cross-bar, and a base consisting of the aforesaid side bars bent downwardly and rearwardly, and recurved at their rear ends inwardl y along the side bars of the base, and a number of bends in said inner side bars forming a series of attaching-loops.

2. A garment-hook having a bill comprising spaced side bars joined at one end by a cross-bar, and a base consisting of the aforesaid side bars bent downwardly and rear wardly, and recurved at their rear ends inwardl y along the side bars of the base, and a number of bends in said inner side bars forming a series of attaching-loops; and a garment eye comprising an elongated loop having on one of its longer sides outwardly-extending bends.

In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. allows the attaching-threads to pass through 1 each loop and also across through both loops, as shown in thedrawings, forming a very secure attachment and one that will not allow the hook to lift or fly up.
